Compliance constants matrix

It is then most straightforward to use the compliance constants matrix, and note that measured quantities, such as the Young s modulus E, Poisson s ratio v and the torsional or shear modulus G, relate directly to the compliance constants. 

Therefore, when the rotational transformation of coordinates is given for the compliance-constant matrix jyj, the reciprocal of Young s modulus, that of the shear modulus, and Poisson s ratio are given respectively by Sn, and -512/Sn for a single crystal with different orientations. 

The compliance-constant matrix is a simplifled notation of the tensor When the X -, X2-, and 3-axes are rotationally transformed to the x -, x 2-, and jr 3-axes, the components of the compliance tensor after transformation are given by ... 

Most simple materia characterization tests are perfomned with a known load or stress. The resulting displacement or strain is then measured. The engineering constants are generally the slope of a stress-strain curve (e.g., E = o/e) or the slope of a strain-strain curve (e.g., v = -ey/ej5 for Ox = a and all other stresses are zero). Thus, the components of the compliance (Sy) matrix are determined more directly than those of the stiffness (Cy) matrix. For an orthotropic material, the compliance matrix components in terms of the engineering constants are... 

This section begins with a brief summary of the compliance approach to nuclear motions (Decius, 1963 Jones and Ryan, 1970 Swanson, 1976 Swanson and Satija, 1977). The inverse of the nuclear force constant matrix H of Equation 30.2, defined in the purely geometric g-representation,... 

Table 12.5 The matrix C of the stiffness constants for all Lane classes. The matrix S of the compliance constants is identical, only C is replaced by S. The last column gives the number of the independent constants.

In this expression, similar to Equation (84a), the first term is the strain of the isotropic matrix given by Equation (94). The second term is the strain induced in crystallite by the matrix and is given by the Eshelby" theory for an ellipsoidal inclusion. The tensor lifg) accounts for the differences between the compliances of the inclusion and of the matrix and has the property ty = 0. To calculate the peak shift. Equation (105) is replaced in Equation (67b), which is further replaced in Equation (83). Analytical calculations can be performed only for a spherical crystalline inclusion that has a cubic symmetry. For the peak shift an expression similar to Equation (91) is obtained but with different compliances. According to Bollenrath el the compliance constants in Equation (91) must be replaced as follows ... 

The next step is to calculate the constant of proportionality between the stress and the strain, the elastic compliance matrix. This is the inverse of the elastic constant matrix (the second derivative of energy with respect to strain), which is determined by again expanding the lattice energy to second order ... 

Since the elastic strain energy is a unique function of state, which is independent of how that state was reached, it is possible to demonstrate that the elastic-compliance and elastic-constant matrixes, as defined above, must be symmetrical. This follows directly from the observation, for example, that... 

The tensor of elastic compliancy S T) = C T), and die elastic constant matrix (ignoring the terms due to electron-rotation interaction) is equal to ... 

The elements of the compliance matrix C = F were determined [40]. The compliance constants in turn were used to derive a set of relaxed force constants [50], For these types of force constants, see [54]. 

Even in cases where the rigid polymer forms the continuous phase, the elastic modulus is less than that of the pure matrix material. Thus two-phase systems have a greater creep compliance than does the pure rigid phase. Many of these materials craze badly near their yield points. When crazing occurs, the creep rate becomes much greater, and stress relaxes rapidly if the deformation is held constant. 

Finally, a possible use of these coupling constants as reactivity indices has been commented upon in both the one- and two-reactant approaches. In the interreactant decoupled applications the molecular compliants, obtained from calculations on separate reactants, can be used directly to qualitatively predict the intrareactant effects resulting from the interreactant CT. The building blocks of the combined electronic-nuclear Hessian for the two-reactant system have been discussed. The corresponding blocks of the generalized compliance matrix have also been identified. In such a complete, two-reactant treatment of reactants in the combined system, the additional calculations on the reactive system as a whole would be required. 

Oral controlled drug-release systems are increasingly used for short half-life drugs to reduce peak blood levels and side-eflfects, to maintain optimum drug concentration and to stimulate patient compliance. In order to maintain a constant blood-level of the drug during an extended period, a constant in vitro drug release rate is desired. The most popular controlled-release system is the matrix tablet (Desai et al., 1965). Te Wierik et al. (1996) reported on... 

Thus one would expect from a (6x6) matrix of the elastic stiffness coefficients (c,y) or compliance coefficients (sy) that there are 36 elastic constants. By the application of thermodynamic equilibrium criteria, cy (or Sjj) matrix can be shown to be symmetrical cy =cji and sy=Sji). Therefore there can be only 21 independent elastic constants for a completely anisotropic solid. These are known as first order elastic constants. For a crystalline material, periodicity brings in elements of symmetry. Therefore symmetry operation on a given crystal must be consistent with the representation of the elastic quantities. Thus for example in a cubic crystal the existence of 3C4 and 4C3 axes makes several of the elastic constants equal to each other or zero (zero when under symmetry operation cy becomes -cy,). As a result, cubic crystal has only three independent elastic constants (cu== C22=C33, C44= css= and Ci2=ci3= C2i=C23=C3i=C32). Cubic Symmetry is the highest that can be attained in a crystalline solid but a glass is even more symmetrical in the sense that it is completely isotropic. Therefore the independent elastic constants reduce further to only two, because C44=( c - C i)l2. 

Even if these equations are assumed to be valid, the variance-covariance matrix <(Xe-Xo)(Xe-Xo) > cannot, in general, be resolved into C and < a >. However, if sufficient information about the force constants F(=C ) were available, the equation for E (jc) could be used to obtain the perturbing forces a for each observed environment separately. For a sufficiently large sample of different environments, could be calculated and its dependence on crystal environment studied. Conversely, the compliance matrix C could be derived if were known. 

The compliance tensor for background rock matrix is a general expression however, in the current work, it is defined by elastic constants. For an assumed transversely anisotropic material, the tensor is defined by five elastic constants (Ej, E2, Vi, V2, and Gt -Young s modulus in the horizontal plane. Young s modulus in the vertical plane, Poisson s ratio in the horizontal plane, Poisson s ratio in the vertical plane, and shear modulus in the vertical plane of the background rock mass, respectively). The compliance tensor for fractures is defined by ... 

The relationship between the compliance matrix and the technical constants such as Young s modulus ( z) shear modulus (Gi) and Poisson s ratio (vy) measured in mechanical tests such as uniaxial or pure shear is expressed in Equation 47.6. 

Studies of mechanical anisotropy in polymers have been made on specimens of two distinct types. Uniaxially drawn filaments or films have fibre symmetry, with isotropy in the plane perpendicular to the draw direction. Films drawn at constant width or films drawn uniaxially and subsequently rolled and annealed under closely controlled conditions, show orthorhombic symmetry. For fibre symmetry (also called transverse isotropy) the number of independent elastic constants reduces to five and the compliance matrix is... 

For orthorhombic symmetry there are nine independent elastic constants and the compliance matrix is... 

These two alternatives give the formal connection of the elastic constants and elastic compliances. They can be abbreviated as matrix products as... 

Laminate stiffness analysis predicts the constitutive behaviour of a laminate, based on classical lamination theory (CLT). The result is often given in the form of stiffness and compliance matrices. Engineering constants, i.e. the in-plane and flexural moduli, Poisson s ratios and coefficients of mutual influence, are further derived from the elements of the compliance matrix. Analyses are continuously needed in structural design since it is essential to know the constitutive behaviour of laminates forming the structure. The results are also the necessary input data for all other macromechanical analyses. A computer code for the stiffness analysis is a valuable tool on account of the extensive calculations related to the analysis. 

The elastic constants are the second derivatives of the energy with respect to the strains. The converged matrix, C, in Eq. (9) contains the second derivatives with resj ct to the unit cell parameters, a,b,d,a,Ry and others parameters such as a and the atom coordinates, v. The cell parameters are strains only in crystal systems with orthogonal basis vectors (cubic, tetragonal and orthorhombic). Thus two further operations are required, elimination of the extra parameters and transformation to Cartesian basis. The elimination of the extra parameters to find the elastic constants has been described [2] as has their elimination to find the compliance matrix [12]. The transformation to Cartesian basis has also been described [2],... 

In dealing with engineering problems, we often desire to convert Cyij or Syu to the engineering moduli (Young s moduli, shear moduli and Poisson s ratios). The engineering moduli are easily calculated from the components of the contracted compliance matrix. The formulas are as follows (There are 9 nonzero independent elastic constants for orthotropic materials) ... 

The elements of the compliance matrix can be derived from the stiffness constants via relationships dependent upon the symmetry of the solid. 

The compliance matrix for an orthotropic material in terms of engineering constants is given as...
